With the nobleman leading the way, Su Chen quickly left Qingqiu Town and came to a cypress forest on the side of the hill.
The cypress trees here exuded a refreshing fragrance of resin. The resin condensed into balls, crystal clear, and rolled on the ground. When stepped on, they would explode with a bang, and the fragrance would spread everywhere.
There was an open space in the forest where a three-legged alchemy cauldron was placed. Other than Su Chen, there was also a man and a woman who seemed to have been hired.
The woman asked Su Chen, "You were also hired because of good luck?"
"You too?"
The woman nodded. "Just now, at an auction, I bought a piece of art passed down by an ancient sage at a low price and earned several million Origin nuclei. This fellow Daoist was hit in the head by a meteor yesterday and obtained a piece of meteoric iron worth several million Origin nuclei."
Su Chen glanced at the man and saw that there was still a big bump on his head. He was speechless.
Su Chen pointed at the nobleman and asked, "Who is he?"
The woman said, "This person is called Song Cai, the young sect master of the Medicine God Sect. You don't know about the Medicine God Sect, but it is the largest alchemy sect in the world. They have produced countless alchemy experts, and their sect master is one of the few Heaven Alchemists in the world. The Medicine God Sect controls almost thirty percent of the elixir trade in the entire Xuanyuan Continent. They are very rich."
Hearing this, Su Chen remembered that there were indeed many elixirs on the market that were labeled with the Medicine God Sect's name, especially many high-grade elixirs that were produced by the Medicine God Sect.
The elixirs that Su Chen used were all refined by himself, so he did not have much of an impression of the Medicine God Sect. However, to many cultivators, the Medicine God Sect still had an extremely high status. After all, many elixirs could only be refined by the Medicine God Sect.
No wonder Song Cai was so rich. It turned out that he was the young sect master of the Medicine God Sect. A few million Origin nuclei were probably nothing to him. In terms of wealth, even the Purple Phoenix could not compare to him.
At this moment, another person brought in two cultivators whose faces were flushed with red light and who seemed to have extraordinary luck.
Seeing that the number of people had reached the limit, Song Cai walked over and said to everyone, "Let's cut to the chase. This young master is borrowing your luck to refine a Heavenly Fortune Pill. This pill is not suitable for refining and has already been refined for three years. It still needs the last step of borrowing luck to completely take shape. Today, I've invited the five of you here to inject strong luck into this Heavenly Fortune Pill and help it successfully take shape. The five of you don't need to do anything. You just need to stand in a circle outside the pill furnace. If it's fast, it'll take an incense stick's worth of time. If it's slow, it'll take two hours.
The female cultivator hesitated for a moment and worriedly asked, "Young master Song, if we borrow their power, will it affect our own luck?
The small saber test meeting is about to begin. If I lose my luck at this juncture, I'm afraid it will be very disadvantageous. "
When Su Chen heard this, he felt that what she said was right. If his luck was sucked away and he was plagued with bad luck, it would not be beautiful.
Song Cai said, "Everyone, don't worry. Luck is determined by heaven. The five of you are people with strong luck. This kind of strong luck cannot be taken away easily. Even if your luck declines after today, it will only reach the level of an ordinary person at worst. After resting for two days, your luck will recover and it will not affect your participation in the competition."
"Forget it. It's fine as long as I can make money. Anyway, I don't expect to get any ranking in the small saber test meeting."
"That's right. My luck has always been very good. There's nothing to worry about."
Su Chen thought about it and felt relieved. Anyway, he did not have many chances to draw prizes recently. It did not matter.
Moreover, Su Chen was also very interested in this Heavenly Fortune Pill. If he could observe it closely, he might be able to secretly learn something.
Song Cai nodded and turned to a black-robed elder. He said, "Third Uncle, I'll have to trouble you."
The black-robed elder slowly walked in front of the alchemy furnace. His originally weak aura instantly erupted. Immediately, his robes fluttered. Flames burst out from his palm, heating up the alchemy furnace.
The temperature of the alchemy furnace instantly soared as dark light constantly penetrated it.
Su Chen carefully sensed and could vaguely sense the aura of at least five divine herbs in the alchemy furnace.
It seemed that this Heavenly Fortune Pill was really extraordinary.
Apart from the aura of the herbs, Su Chen also vaguely sensed that there seemed to be some kind of strange power entangled in the alchemy furnace. Su Chen had sensed this power from Ye Qiyuan's sword stance. It should be some kind of karmic power.
Karmic power was mysterious. It was very difficult to grasp this power. Su Chen had also tried to understand it, but he did not even have a way to get started.
The only way he could try was Ye Qiyuan's Nascent Soul divine technique. However, Su Chen would definitely not cultivate such a sinister cultivation technique.
As time passed, the aura in the alchemy furnace changed even more. At the same time, the five people, including Su Chen, all felt a strange power surround their bodies.
This power was not strong. It was like warm water that washed over their bodies, trying to borrow Su Chen's luck.
Su Chen did not care. However, he soon realized that this power was not strong enough to borrow his luck.
Or could it be that Su Chen's luck was so strong that others could not borrow it at all?
This was because Su Chen realized that after being swept by this power, the other four people started to look tired.
The black-robed elder obviously noticed this as well. He glared at Su Chen. "Kid, why aren't you lending your luck? Do you want to die?"
Su Chen immediately frowned.
Since there was money to be made, Su Chen did not mind. In any case, his luck was so strong that it did not matter at all if he lent a little.
However, this old man's attitude was really bad. Su Chen did not have a good temper, so he immediately became unhappy.
He even broke free from the entanglement of that power and retreated in a flash. He said coldly, "I don't want to lend my luck, and I don't want the one million origin nuclei. Do as you please."
After saying that, Su Chen turned around and was about to leave.
He had already restrained himself by not overturning the alchemy furnace.
"Young Master, you can't let him go. Quickly stop him!" the black-robed elder shouted hurriedly.
Song Cai frowned. With a wave of his hand, several strong men surrounded Su Chen.
"Get out of the way!"
Su Chen slapped out with his palm. It was so fast that even the air could not escape. With a loud explosion, the strong men were directly sent flying by Su Chen.
"Kid, how dare you!"
The black-robed elder was furious. He did not expect Su Chen to hurt people. He did not care about continuing to refine elixirs. He jumped up and rushed toward Su Chen.
The elder's aura seemed weak, but when it erupted, his power was constantly rising. He almost had the strength of a No Doubts Disaster.
Su Chen faced the elder's attack and did not move. A blood-red flame turned up on his arm. He raised his hand and blasted out a palm.
